What's Going On w/ Map and Submarine Rewards? Lack of MB Availability?

Which map items are you referring to? If you're willing to share that info. I just did maps last night, and kept a small list of things that we acquired from it. None of the items seemed particularly expensive. tbh I'm not even crazy about doing more, since the rewards were so cheap. Curious if there's a jackpot item I'm missing, or if you're referring to materials from an older map.

Both of the minions that drop from new maps are worth $15 - $20mm a piece on the MB. Supply is low. RNG is RNG, but maps are casual content that is generally heavily participated in. So low supply on the MB after 2-3 weeks indicates something is up - and it's probably not the drop rate. No idea if it's just the RNG spinner is bad, there's a boss or two that is hard for the casual playerbase, or people just aren't running maps.

Nothing is up. RNG is random and people are likely opting to use the minions over selling them.

Those 2 minions only come from the hydaelyn space. I've been doing maps since they released and Saturday night was the first time I'd ever seen that special space get landed on, and it happened twice in the same map. Both minions dropped.

Sub rewards are up on the MB: I've sold a Bantam Train minion and a few of the Alchemist tabletop furniture/ingredients for it. My subs are just hitting max level tonight, so first ventures back from max level zones will be tomorrow. No sign of the Suzusaurus minion or any new Orchestrion rolls yet

The feathers for previous map mount hung around 3M each on my server for most of last year, and Phaethon horns drop at about the same rate that those did. Everyone is doing the new maps, the Pinky tonics drop from the old ones, and I'm guessing those have the same drop rate as the horns/feathers. New map minions are won the same way the Golden Beaver was in 5.3, which was around 10M on my server a year after it was introduced

As for the new treasure maps, they really locked one of the minions behind landing on the silver panel which is so rare it's probably not even common knowledge that it can happen. On the old maps, somebody said it took them around 950 runs to hit silver 'abomination' once.

I have no idea on an exact count, but I did well over a thousand maps after they introduced the 5.x roulette, and saw the Silver Frog once. The spin didn't even land on the silver circle; it landed on Atamos, which flipped over to silver

As soon as I say this, we got 2 Silver rolls in the same day out of about a dozen maps and saw both minions. First from a choke, then from a straight roll.
